Lyrics
it beggars belief
It’s been resonating
Since the start of time
Like white noise in the background
Blowing my mind
Strung together theories
No god could contemplate
That music from the spheres
Could open the gates
To questions
They don’t wanna hear
It beggars belief
Galilei he bore witness
And suffered for our sins
Heliocentric madman
In a flat world
But what goes round
Comes around
And shocks the monkey
You need to reach for the stars
They won’t come to you
The vast expansion
Eternity
It beggars belief
The sunlight shining
On you and me
It beggars belief
It’s been resonating
Since the start of time
Like white noise in the background
Blowing my mind
away
two minutes silence
that's all they get
a paragraph
in the daily rag
their lives before them
their every dream
all wiped out
in just one moment
well what you gonna
tell their mums and dads
their sisters and brothers
they where just young lads
they could be your sons
i hope they're not
they had so much
they gave it all
away
they gave it all away
to me (electric version)
just like home
but different
the hills
the trees
the sea
all look
very similar
to me
to me
the air is cool
and clear
the rain
is dreech and damp
like home
it all seems
so familiar
to me
to me
i'm here with friends
their welcome warm
i feel at home
i feel at one
the waters lap
upon the shore
right outside
my friends front door
these people
speak another tongue
but know my
language well
they're all so
very similar
to me
to me
i fell asleep
i fell asleep in the bath
and dreamt the water turned cold
and it had and it had
i dozed off on my chair
and dreamt that you had left
and you had and you had
if all my dreams come true
what if i dream of you
will you come will you come
i fell asleep on the bus
and dreamt i missed my stop
and i had and i had
i nodded off at school
and dreamt you thought me a fool
and you had and you had
if all my dreams come true
what if i dream of you
will you come will you come
i fell asleep on the bed
and dreamt that you'd come back
in the summertime
in the summertime
the day stays longer
the nights are warm
beneath the stars
in the summertime
the sun shines brightly
we step outside
and sip the air
in the summertime
we have such fun
so many things
that we can do
in the summertime
we catch the sun
and gently dream
of new horizons
in the summertime
the children play
for hours on end
even in the rain
in the sumertime
we have such fun
so many things
that we can do
oh the sumertime
it won't be long
till winter's gone
and summers here
A Million Eyes
up in the sky
the stars are shining
a million eyes
look down on us
i hold you close
your arms around me
i feel your warmth
on me tonight
oh and i love you
oh how i need you
oh at my side
throughout this night
oh how i want you
oh how i love you
oh how you make me
feel this night
in the verandah
A coke with some brandy
Lemon and ice
In the verandah
Beneath candlelight
A kiss on your forehead
Whilst holding your hand
Forget all the others
They just don’t understand
We’ll sit and watch magpies
Peck on dead mice
The cat left in the garden
On Saturday night
We’ll talk in whispers
So no one can hear
Just what we are up to
Secretly...........out here
Do you think I’m a bad boy?
A scoundrel a rogue
Who hides in the shadows
Where nobody goes
I’ll tell you my secrets
If you tell me yours
My strange peccadilloes
My scars and my bruise
A snake in my trousers
My hand on your arse
You’re blushing my darling
And breathing too fast
Struck dumb by the moment
The rapture of fear
On your lips a tremble
In your eyes a tear
I’ll sit and watch magpies
Peck on your skin
As you lay in the garden
Once i’ve had my fun
Your beauty decaying
Blood mixed with dirt
When i put the knife in
You know it won’t hurt
A coke and some brandy
Lemon and ice
In the verandah
what is this dust
my bones are aching
skin like glass
i got the hot sweats
running down my back
my fingers cracking
both my eyes are dry
i got that cat's eye fever
but i'm too scared to cry
fibreglass amphetamines
what is this dust
what is this dust
asbestos acid skag
my coke is flat
my coke is flat
my stains are nicoteened
burnt bled gums
i grind my teeth at night
the sandman never comes
crawling round the attic
on my back and side
rolling round for purchase
pulling 'gainst the tide
hold on tight
let me take you to the stars
to see the universe
it's wonderful out there
there's oh so much to see
there's oh so much to do
it stretches to eternity
so step into my craft
it travels very fast
from nought to warp drive
in the blink of an eye
the future or the past
the first stop or the last
i'll take you anywhere you want to go
we could meet up with my friends
just beyond your saturn's rings
there's gonna be a party there tonight
or would you rather somewhere else
perhaps orion's belt
it's beautiful this time of year
so step into my craft
it travels very fast
from nought to warp drive
in the blink of an eye
the future or the past
the first stop or the last
i'll take you anywhere you want to go
hold on tight
hold on tight
you're gonna see the universe tonight
hold on tight
hold on tight
you're gonna see the universe tonight
let me take you to the stars
to see the universe
it's wonderful out there
there's oh so much to see
there's oh so much to do
it stretches to eternity
a glow
outside the cathedral
a bride in the rain
her father is sobbing
cos he's losing his wean
inside the groom waits
a lifetime it seems
he prays she's coming
and no run away
then a tune so familiar
that everyone stands
they all turn to look
and gasp......at her beauty
at her beauty
at her beauty
she floats down the aisle
a glow all around
he's holding his breath
and feeling so proud
he takes her hand
looks in her eyes
a glow
all around them
they say their vows
exchange their rings
and kiss
my heart it still dances
the first time i set eyes on thee
i knew you where the one for me
i knew that very moment
i must win your heart
we laughed and danced until the dawn
we drank some wine and sang some songs
i knew that very moment
we must never part
aye.........
as time went on we grew together
we swore our dying love forever
we said i do
and set of on our journey
so many moments we have shared
too many memories to forget
i thank the stars above
that you're here with me
aye.........
of all the fishes in the sea
how i found you and you found me
it staggers me to think
what where the chances
i'll love thee till the day i die
and i will never leave your side
for when i'm with you
my heart it still dances
Dizzy
Put your foot on the pedal
hit the speed of the autobhan
slowing down at the strasse
stopping only for the green man
get in gear for a night out
having fun on the reeperbhan
coca cola nitroglycerine
on your back from the aftershock
I don't know my name
I can't remember anything
I don't know where I am
I just feel dizzy
coast to coast in a drunken haze
crashing out in a safe house
tied and robbed on a stairwell
missing teeth and a kidney
call your tour rep for a refund
ask the hooker for a free one
ask your daddy if he'll send some
he tells you that you were not his son
I don't know my name
I can't remember anything
I don't know where I am
I just feel dizzy
having fun on your holiday
decadent and distasteful
full of so many chemicals
hose you down with detergent
put it all on your credit card
light your cigarettes with dollar bills
never think of tomorrow
very soon that will be yesterday
I don't know my name
I can't remember anything
I don't know where I am
I just feel dizzy
do you remember
do you remember
when it all began
back in the day
it seems so long ago
but in the scale of things
we're not so very old
we're still young at heart
with a skip in our step
do you remember
way back when
we where young
and full of bravado
fast and bulbous
just back from the pub
happy and full
ready for bed
do you remember
when it all began
back in the day
it seems so long ago
so long ago
so long ago
do you remember
saturation coverage
i had my five minutes of fame
i want it all over again
the way it used to be
i find it really difficult
being so invisible
i want the spotlight on
i'll sign up for big brother
my face back on the cover
the rolling stone and NME
they'll all come back to see me
i won't be off the tv
saturation coverage
in my day i was a face
found myself in the right place
at the right time
burning up the stratosphere
running naked down the street
back to the bottom of the heap
i'll sign up for big brother
my face back on the cover
the rolling stone and NME
they'll all come back to see me
i won't be off the tv
saturation coverage
saturation coverage
saturation coverage
i had my five minutes of fame
i want it all over again
